New Delhi: Wipro, a tech major, announced the launch of a comprehensive Wipro ai360, an AI-first innovative ecosystem, along with committing a $1 billion investment in advancing AI capabilities over the next three years.
The investment will focus on expanding AI, developing new R&D and platforms, data and analytics solutions, as well as enhancing ‘FullStride Cloud’ and consulting capabilities.
Wipro ai360 builds on the company’s decade-long investments in artificial intelligence (AI) to integrate AI into every platform, tool, and solution used internally and offered to clients, the company said in a statement.
Thierry Delaporte, CEO and MD of Wipro Limited said, “Especially with the emergence of generative AI, we expect a fundamental shift up ahead for all industries. New business models, new ways of working, and new challenges, too. This is exactly why Wipro’s ai360 ecosystem places responsible AI operations at the heart of all our AI work”.
Wipro ai360 will combine the 30,000 Wipro experts in data analytics and AI with Wipro’s technology and advisory ecosystem from four global business lines.
The company said it will accelerate investments in cutting-edge startups through Wipro Ventures.
Besides this, the company will launch a programme called the GenAI Seed Accelerator programme, which will provide select GenAI-focused startups with the training needed to become enterprise-ready.
To reach these goals, the company will train 2,50,000 employees on AI fundamentals and responsible use of AI over the course of the next 12 months.
Wipro said it will develop a curriculum that maps out the complete AI journey for different roles.
